Abstract: 651,031. Cutting haulms, weeds &c. POMERANCE, I., and GLOBE HARVESTER CO., Ltd. July 6, 1948, No. 18128. [Class 6(iii)] Haulms, weeds and other vegetable growths are cut by a device, such for example that shown in Fig. 2, comprising one or more members 1 each carrying a knife 11 and each rotating about a fixed vertical axis 4, means such as parallel link mechanism being provided to constrain the knives always to point in a given direction. The link mechanism shown includes links 6 and arms 1a rotating around a fixed axis 3. Rotation of the device is effected by chain and sprocket mechanism 15, 17. The links 6 are each connected to the shafts 7, 8, by which they are pivoted to the members 1, 1a, and the shafts 8 are each bored out to receive upstanding parts of the knife carriers 10. A single hole in each shaft 8 and several holes in each carrier enables the height of the knives to be adjusted by the insertion of locking pins. In a modification, Fig. 3. the knives 23 are mounted on sprockets 20 which can rotate on a centrally pivoted arm 18. A chain 22 passing round each sprocket engages also a fixed sprocket 21. such an 'arrangement ensuring that the knives point always in the same direction when arm 18 is rotated by chain and sprocket device 15, 17.

Abstract: The invention comprises a red crystalline electrophoretic neutral organic substance termed Vitamin B12-factor III and containing cobalt, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and phosphorus, and having at pH 4 in aqueous solution absorption maxima at 351 mm ; 500 mm ; and 526 mm , and the preparation of a concentrate thereof by heating digested sewage sludge after the addition of CN ions or SO3 ions at a pH of 5-7 for 20-60 minutes at 70-120 DEG  C., clarifying the liquid and treating the filtrate with an adsorption medium (e.g. active charcoal), eluting said factor with alcohol-water mixtures and concentrating the eluate, precipitating said factor by the addition of ammonium sulphate and extracting the precipitate with methanol or phenol-hydrocarbon mixture after dehydrating with sodium sulphate; the Vitamin B12 factor III component, being if desired thereupon transferred after adding a polar oxygen-containing liquid, e.g. an alcohol, ketone, ether or ester, to the aqueous phase and, if desired, precipitated from the latter on to kieselguhr with the aid of a phenol, in which case the precipitate is separated from the aqueous liquid and washed with acetone. Alternatively the concentrated alcohol water eluate is extracted with a mixture of a hydrocarbon and a halogenated phenol instead of being precipitated with ammonium sulphate.  The concentrate thus obtained may be subjected to chromatographic separation on a column of cellulose powder using a developer consisting of n-butanol and water, extracting the eluate with water, concentrating in vacuo and crystallizing from acetone-water mixture.

Title: Improvements relating to sound reproducing apparatus
IPC: G11B3/38
Filed: 1944-09-25
Abstract: 607,280. Playing selected parts of gramophone records. HAINES, F. J. G. Sept. 25, 1944, No. 18312. [Class 40 (ii)] A pick-up 1 is mounted on a sliding carriage 5 and is accurately-located over the initial or other turn of the record groove to be played by means of a locator member 24, which constrains the carriage to the required position. Locator member 24 is carried on arms 21<SP>1</SP> slidably mounted on a bar 20 so as to rock with the bar when the latter is operated by actuation of solenoid 22. Member 24 then engages an abutment 28 on the carriage and edge 25 or 26 acts on the abutment till it enters a recess 27 in member 24 which determines the position in which the pick-up comes to rest. Member 24 may be traversed by operation of a jockey 17 engaging between the arms 21<SP>1</SP>, the jockey being supported on a bar 16 and feed-screw 18, the latter being rotatable by hand wheel 19. The member 24 is normally held in raised position clear of abutment 28 by operation of a spring 29 engaging the armature of solenoid 22. Mercury switch 41 associated with a bar 11 controlling the raising and lowering of the pick-up opens the circuit of solenoid 22 when the pick-up is lowered to play a record. Bar 11 has a flange engaging a roller 10 on one end of the pick-up arm 2 which is pivoted at 3 on arm 4. Bar 11 is rocked by energization of a solenoid 13 to lower the pickup to and is raised by operation of a counterweight 14 or a return spring when the relay is de-energized, the return movement being steadied by a dashpot 15. Switch 30 opens to mute the pick-up upon operation of solenoid 13 to raise the pick-up. Fig. 3 shows the control circuit. Solenoid 13 is energized by operation of a relay 35 which has a holding circuit controlled by relay 36. To operate the control circuit, press-button switch 38 is depressed. An operating circuit for relay 36 is completed at 39 instantaneously, relay 36 then locking and opening the locking circuit for relay 35 to de-energize solenoid 13 so that the pick-up is raised by action of counterweight or spring 14. The energization circuit for solenoid 22 is also prepared at 45 so that when switch 41 closes upon rocking of bar 11, locator member 24 is lowered to position the pick-up. An operating circuit for relay 35 is prepared at 43 via switch 44 and commutator switch 31-34 which is a sector selecting arrangement forming the subject of Specification 607,279. Switch 31- 34 may be short-circuited at 46. When switch 44 is operated from its normal position, relay 36 is de-energized and relay 35 operates immediately if switch 46 is closed or in due course through switch 31-34 and the pick-up is again lowered and solenoid 22 de-energized. The holding circuit for relay 36 is broken at 42<SP>1</SP> by movement of locator member 24 and at the same time an economy resistance 47 is switched into the circuit of solenoid 22. Several pick-up locating devices may be provided for making different selections from a record in the same machine, see Fig. 2 (not shown).

[Class 110 (iii)] [Also in Groups XXVII and XXXIII] In a power plant comprising a two-stroke internal combustion engine A, preferably with compression ignition, driving through gearing B, C, C<1>, C<2>, a propeller D disposed with its axis parallel to the engine crankshaft A<1> and through gearing M<1>, M, L<2>, a centrifugal compressor L which supercharges the engine, the exhaust of the engine being used in a turbine F which drives direct through a shaft G an axial flow compressor J which supplies air to the centrifugal compressor L and through gearing G<1>, K<2>, a propeller K which is co-axial with the engine driven propeller D, the exhaust gas turbine F, axial flow compressor J and the engine driven centrifugal compressor L have a common axis of rotation parallel to the crankshaft A<1> A second turbine F', which may be amounted on the shaft G or on a separate shaft connected to' the shaft G by gearing, may be used to supplement the power of the turbine F. A valve E<1> in the piping E enables the exhaust gases from the engine to be passed through the turbine F<1> when desired. The air delivered by the axial flow compressor J passes through an intercooler N on its way to the centrifugal compressor L. A byepass N<1> with a valve N<2> enables the air to be diverted round the intercooler N, if desired. Alternatively, the byepass may be omitted and means provided for controlling the supply of coolant to the intercooler N. In the pipng E, through which the exhaust gases from the engine flow to the turbine, there may be a combustion chamber O in which fuel is injected at O<1>. A byepass E<2> with a valve E<3> may also be provided to enable the combustion chamber to be cut out of operation. Alternatively, means may be provided to control the supply of fuel to the burner O<1>. The centrifugal compressor L may be driven as shown, from the remote end of the crankshaft through a flexible shaft M<2> or through gearing from the adjacent end of the crankshaft. The gases leaving the turbine may be used to give a propulsive jet. According to the Provisional Specification, the combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber O may be assisted by allowing some air to enter the exhaust passage from the centrifugal compressor, a bleed-off pipe in which there is a valve running from this compressor to the exhaust gas piping at a place between the engine and the combustion chamber. Specifications 581,472, 583,500 and 583,727 are referred to.
